Equipment

  • Baking sheet or microwave-safe bowl
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Whisk

Ingredients
 

  • 1 Box Funfetti Cake Mix
  • 2 Cups Vanilla Yogurt
  • 8 Ounces Cool Whip thawed
  • Sprinkles If Desired

Instructions
 

Heat-Treat the Cake Mix

  • Spread the dry cake mix out in a thin, even layer. To heat-treat for safety, microwave it for 30 seconds or bake it at 350 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes until it reaches 165 degrees F. Let it cool completely to room temperature.

Mix the Creamy Base

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt and 1 tablespoon of malted milk powder (if using) until the mixture is glossy and smooth.

Assemble and Chill

  • Add the cooled cake mix and the thawed Cool Whip to the yogurt base. Using a rubber spatula, use a gentle lift-and-turn motion to fold the ingredients together until no dry pockets remain and the texture is fluffy.
  • Gently fold in extra sprinkles if desired. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the cake batter flavor to fully develop.
  • Right before serving, top with a final shower of sprinkles to ensure the colors remain bright and do not bleed into the dip.

Notes

Safety Tip: Always heat-treat your dry cake mix to 165 degrees F before use to eliminate risks associated with raw flour.
Texture Tip: Thaw your whipped topping overnight in the refrigerator rather than the microwave to keep the dip stable, airy, and fluffy.
Color Tip: Use rainbow jimmies instead of nonpareils within the dip, as they hold their color longer and won't turn the dip purple during the chilling process.
